The Scream of Life by Kathleen Higham There was a vague sensation Don't know when awareness came Just this feeling of absolute peace When tenderly she spoke my name. Floating, floating, so secure Growing strong in her secret place A longing came, a desire to see The gentle voice without a face. This spirit fills my very soul I cannot acknowledge her as yet Knowing something glorious is near We shall meet, our time is set. Certain hours bring the sweetest joy As she sings softly, lovingly to me In the darkness of my abode Comfort, even though I cannot see. This day my journey shall begin Traveling downward to her door Her cries of pain fill my ear Pressing on, knowing there is more. Suddenly the darkness fades Screaming, screaming in the night A fear overwhelming grips me Eyes have yet to see the light. The sound of terror in my head Propelled into a world of strife Tiny fists flailing frantically Quivering lips cry the scream of life. A scream of life serenely quiet now When angels leave me in her care Resting peacefully at her breast, Life Life begins with my Mother's prayer. |
